Wilson’s Prom - 10 – 12 Dec 2005
Saturday – Enormous death waves of doom We’d secured a campsite late on Friday night, after driving down from Melbourne.

So far I’ve checked out the snow in West Virginia (it’s kind of like Tasmania out that way, lots of wilderness, lots of conservationist hippies, and lots of conservative rednecks).
